For those of you who can’t make it along to our Scottish Modern Quilt Exhibition I thought I would share these photos that my husband, Jonathan, took after he had finished the mammoth task of hanging them on Friday (thanks Jonathan!). I took the last 3 to highlight particular things he had missed. This is …
A few months back I made this mini spool quilt with leftover sample blocks from my Modern Patchwork Techniques 1 and 2 evening classes. As I am doing a new ‘Modern Sampler’ class this year I can use all my old class samples up (something I have been dying to do since I made them!). …
I’ve always wanted to make a Tumbler quilt. I loved the simplicity of the design, but then again, I thought it almost looked too simple to maintain my interest for a full sized quilt. And then I wondered what it would look like if I ‘log cabined’ around it. A light bulb went on in …

Christina, the lovely lady who commissioned the second Red Riding Hood quilt has also commissioned this one. The first one was for her …
I am at home all week working on new Bearpaw craft classes for the Autumn which will get announced in a week or so (no pressure then!). Phew, being creative all day is really hard work! And stressful! I’ll be glad to get back to the shop. So there will be lots to show you …
